We face an unprecedented crisis and in order to meet the needs of our community, we need your help. In the last two weeks, BPNC has checked in with nearly 800 families on the Southwest side to assess their needs.

- More than half of them have lost work. - Over 30% do not have health insurance. - The vast majority of families have at least one family member that is undocumented and will not be eligible for unemployment insurance.

Our goal is to give $500 in cash assistance, rental assistance, and groceries to 500 families.

So far, BPNC, with support from the Family Independence Initiative and COVID-19 Response Fund, has helped 100 families with $500 cash assistance.

Please consider donating to help us meet our goal and ensure that more families on the southwest side are able to survive this crisis.
